The Gift is the first novel I have read by Cecelia Ahern. Found it in a tiny shop while on my trip to Wales. Saw the word Dublin somewhere in it and the decision was made. I really liked the concept but.. It had too much narration for my liking. I did not like Lou. I did not like the ending. I guess I like happier endings. Well, I can take sad ones as well, but this one was a bit rushed. I would have liked that Lou got his lesson and made some serious changes in his life or something. But he got to the point of realization he was hurting himself and others and did not actually have time to make it right. One dinner with his family. One trip with his brother. I don`t know, it didn`t feel quite right. Would get 2.5 from me.

3.5* This one started out a little slow and then began to pick up in the middle. There is a cute scene where Eve is left alone with Bella for a brief moment. It was quite entertaining to read. This wasn't one that really stuck with me but I always enjoy reading an In Death book. I think my biggest issue with the book is that we knew the guilty parties from the beginning. This book was all about how to bring them down. Entertaining but not as interesting as the whodunits.

Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is trying to come to terms with his father's death in the World Trade Center on September 11. Along the way he meets some fascinating New Yorkers and discovers decades-old family secrets. Rated R for language, which was really too bad because the language was completely gratuitous and unnecessary to the story line.

From the Publisher Searching for the remnants of his family, Leonard Kniffel left Chicago in 2000 to live in Poland. A Polish Son in the Motherland is the story of a search for roots and for the reasons why one family's ties were severed more than fifty years ago. Along the way, we see what half a century of communism did to Poland and how the residue of World War II lingers.The author's search begins inauspiciously, but he soon meets a local wine merchant and her son, who are eager to reveal the secrets of Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, the town near which his grandmother was born. After he moves in with Adam, a local entrepreneur who trades in everything from shoes and cosmetics to computers and jam, he begins to master his ancestral language and learn the ways of the community from Adam's mother, who loves long walks in the woods—and meals made from what she picks there. Kniffel's search for a connection to Poland is propelled by memories of the stories his grandmother told him about her emigration to Michigan in 1913. While his family eludes him, the adventure becomes an investigation into the relationship between mothers and the legacy they give their sons. Poles who emigrated to America, the author concludes, must have been particularly good at assimilating into American culture. Less than fifty years after his maternal grandparents arrived in the United States, barely a trace of their Polishness existed in their grandchildren. Through his grandparents' struggles, their children became American and created a new world for themselves and their descendants. In returning to Poland himself, Kniffel sought and found a bridge to the "Great Migration" that changed the lives of so many millions—and millions yet to come. reconciliation, the one that truly matters."—Linda Nemec Foster, poet and author of Amber Necklace from Gdansk Author Biography: LEONARD KNIFFEL is the editor and publisher of American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library Association. Born and raised in Michigan, he holds masters degrees in English and library science from Wayne State University in Detroit. He now lives and works in Chicago.

There is simply so much about humanity that this novel teasingly reveals. It's not all nice, but somehow that's okay. Very few authors are able to balance this many rich characters and make the reader enjoy every single one of them. The quote that's really stuck with me is from the no-account father, "The worst thing about the cops and the lawyers can do to you really isn't that bad."

It's always frustrating to see a pop author get ahold of a really important topic and popularize it with such stunning success. The world really needs to know that the history and truths we tell ourselves are, infact, carefully designed to mask what is actually true. I wish that people would become half as interested in a responsible treatment of these topics. Nevertheless, I have to admit that Dan Brown has succeded in at least opening up the mainstream to these ideas, and for that he has my respect.

I read this book right before heading to grad school, and thus used it to apply all the literary theory I was working with. And Pattern Recognition can certainly bear that heavy load. Gibson's only (to date) non-science fiction novel is an exploration of patterns, modern consumerism, "the sign," Orientalism, and communication theory. September 11th haunts the book (literaly), but does not take over the narrative. The main character is a woman I can finally identify with (Gibson seems to have given up the skinny chicks in leather). Definitely a book to read if you're thinking about globalization, the Other, or just want a good old fashioned cyber-mystery.
